My People Were in Shipping
summary
Claims that Portuguese ancestors built the Atlantic slave trade and carried 5.8 million Africans, ties those facts to national monuments (Descobrimentos) and slave auction sites (Rua do Poco dos Negros), and confesses a studio reality: hired exactly one Black person in 20 years. Calls for concrete moves: hold organizations to the receipts of their public statements, use Whiteness as leverage to interrupt and create space, and practice everyday sabotage and hiring changes rather than performative statements. Made by an immigrant appears as a reclaimed, complicated badge.
